More actions
Utlia is an island in the eastern archipelago
Pre-Unification
City-state era
Earliest known settlement of Utlia comes from the Western Forests, now the Utlian Capital Territory, in these forests the first city-state was formed, Tela it prospers as Utlias first true civilization. Not long after, 2 more were formed nearby, the Dirn and Lesyhan, these three were all created sometime in 2750 TT. These three were the most important on the island but many smaller, less powerful ones sprouted in the north and south, including Kelna and Unlaunen
Twin Kingdoms and Unification
The Kelna and Unlaunen city states quickly outgrew the status, annexing and conquering large amounts of territory. The northern group became the Eutan Kingdom and the southerners became the Frish Kingdom.
Azztanism
On 2-12 1800 TT Vyren Kiyrn met with the crab deity Azzta in the Maaryn, where he wrote the book Azztanism, which became the basis of the religion of the same name. Upon his return from the Frish Expeditions Azztanism became the majority religion in the Frish Kingdom. Between 1800 TT and 1730 TT the religion had become the primary religious status in the Eutan Kingdom as well, with the first Azztanist monarch being Leirtet Uyst, who converted from Wycalt sometime in 1735. The previous primary religion of the Eutan Kingdom, Wycalt was not outlawed but instead absorbed into the Eutan Azz'marin, with previous high ranking Wycalt ritualists being given positions of Cuspmen in exchange for conversion.
Unification
The two kingdoms eventually annexed all but the three original western city-states, protected by Tela as part of the Tin-pact . The two kingdoms had a friendly relationship. On 4-7 1102 TT Wynlid Liamia and Shaen eien, the kings of the Eutan Kingdom and the Frish Kingdom respectively, met at a site near the Balmor river and signed a declaration of unification, merging the two into one kingdom, known as Utlia.
Not long after the unification was finalized, Wynlid Liamia began the Azztan Annexations, a holy invasion of the three Tin-pact city states and its people. The annexations led to the extinction of both the Tela people and the Tela faith on Utlia. Following an Utlian victory, the capital of the unified kingdom was officially declared as Tinntean a recently destroyed town south of the Tela capital. The town was renamed Tinlea-Ut and work was started on building into a city worthy of the Utlians.
